Geography is the science that deals with the surface of the earth and combines human and scientific perspectives. Examine water samples, evaluate satellite maps or take part in excursions abroad: At the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) you can study geography as a two-subject master’s course with the profile of business education and get to know the subject in a variety of ways. You will deepen the basic knowledge you have acquired in the bachelor’s degree in the master’s degree: In human geography, you deal with the teaching of surface forms (geomorphology) as well as with soil science, hydrology, climatology and biogeography (animal and plant geography). In physical geography you will encounter the disciplines of economic, settlement, population and social geography. It is about the description, explanation and prognosis of spatial structures and spatial processes that are caused directly or indirectly by people. This also includes consciously influencing geographical areas through planning measures, taking into account economic, social, political, technological and cultural aspects that change over time and region. The aim is to give you the broadest possible overview and in-depth knowledge of geography, which you can apply in numerous practical exercises for spatial observation, remote sensing, mapping, measuring point networks, surveys or area statistics. In addition, you work with subject-specific programs such as geographic information systems. Didactic seminars prepare you for your future work environment in school. You will learn practical knowledge at school in practical modules, with intensive supervision from the Center for Teacher Education. The completed master’s degree qualifies you for a legal clerkship at a school. However, you have other professional options: For example, you can work in urban and regional planning, tourism management, nature and environmental protection or journalism. The door to a scientific career is also open to you.
